School timings: Examining PTI rally repercussions
Teachers and students in Shujabaad complained about the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) rally that disrupted school activities.
School administration and students said that it was unethical of the PTI to organise political processions in government school grounds during an exam day.
“The whole system has been disturbed because of the rally. Students have been not able to prepare for their examinations,” said a teacher at the Shujaabad Government High School. Senior head master of the school, Rana Gulzar Mohayuddin said that he had refused to let the PTI use the school as the venue for its rally because the institution was also serving as an examination centre for the intermediate supplementary exams. “But the district administration pressured me to give permission,” he said.
He said that District coordination officer (DCO) Zahid Akhtar Zaman had visited the school and Commissioner Khurram Ali Agha had given PTI the go ahead, ignoring their objections.
Students and teachers expressed their concerns over the rally clashing with their examinations and said that this would affect their performance.

Government servants complaining against the opposition!!!... sounds fishy....by the way a plitical party can't be blamed for that....it is administration's job to make sure things go smoothly and no one complains....afterall they are granting the permission and taking responsibility....
@Umar: Pathetic reply from a PTI supporter as usual. Two wrongs don't make a right.
students are not voters, for teachers, its more important they teach...........what's the fuss all about, they should be concentrating on studies, not political bickerings
DCO is responsible of it or inother words Punjab Govt.
They should stop PTI and provide alternate. I dont think balme to PTI. They request permission and these type of things that what effect on school or so is the job of district govt.
Isn't this news being published for the second time in the last 2 days?
